For organizations using traditional analog or digital phone systems, SmartNode™ gateways offer immediate access to the productivity-boosting world of unified communications.

“We’ve got enterprise VoIP covered,” said Ramon Felder, President and COO at Patton-Inalp, ”for any size office, any interface type, any signaling protocol, anywhere in the world. SmartNode enables—and enhances—unified communications. Our award-wining VoIP gateways are highly reputed in the industry for their stability. Once you set it up you can forget about it. SmartNode™ just keeps working.”

Most IBM-certified VoIP equipment is less scalable in terms of interface types, port counts, and number of concurrent calls. Yet Swiss engineered and US-manufactured SmartNode is typically lower-in-cost than reliable alternatives.
